BACKGROUND ART

A wireless power transmission or a wireless energy transfer refers to a technology for wirelessly transferring electric energy to desired devices. In the 1800's, an electric motor or a transformer employing the principle of electromagnetic induction has been extensively used and then a method for transmitting electrical energy by irradiating electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves or lasers, has been suggested. Actually, electrical toothbrushes or electrical razors, which are frequently used in daily life, are charged based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Until now, the long-distance transmission using the magnetic induction, the resonance and the short-wavelength radio frequency has been used as the wireless energy transfer scheme.

Among the above wireless power transmission technologies, a wireless power transmission technology based on magnetic resonance has been recently spotlighted.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the disclosure will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains can easily realize the disclosure.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a wireless power transmission system according to one embodiment of the disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1, the wireless power transmission system may include a power supply apparatus 100, a wireless power transmission apparatus 200, a wireless power receiving apparatus 300, and a load 400.

According to one embodiment, the power supply apparatus 100 may be included in the wireless power transmission apparatus 200.

The wireless power transmission apparatus 200 may include a transmission induction coil 210 and a transmission resonance coil 220.

The wireless power receiving apparatus 300 may include a receiving resonance coil, a receiving induction coil 320, a rectification part 330, and the load 400.

Both terminals of the power supply apparatus 100 are connected to both terminals of the transmission induction coil 210.

The transmission resonance coil 220 may be spaced apart from the transmission induction coil 210 by a predetermined distance.

The receiving resonance coil 310 may be spaced apart from the receiving induction coil 320 by a predetermined distance.

Both terminals of the receiving induction coil 320 are connected to both terminals of a rectification part 330, and the load 400 is connected to both terminals of the rectification part 330. According to one embodiment, the load 400 may be included the wireless power receiving apparatus 300.

The power generated from the power supply apparatus 100 is transferred to the wireless power transmission apparatus 200. The power received in the wireless power transmission apparatus 200 is transferred to the wireless power receiving apparatus 300 that makes resonance with the wireless power transmission apparatus 200 due to a resonance phenomenon, that is, has the same resonance frequency as that of the wireless power transmission apparatus 200.

Hereinafter, the power transmission process will be described in more detail.

The power supply apparatus 100 generates AC power having a predetermined frequency and transfers the AC power to the wireless power transmission apparatus 200.

The transmission induction coil 210 and the transmission resonance coil 220 are inductive coupled with each other. In other words, if AC current flows through the transmission induction coil 210 due to power received from the power supply apparatus 100, the AC current is inducted to the transmission resonance coil 220 physically spaced apart from the transmission induction coil 210 due to the electromagnetic induction.

Thereafter, the power received in the transmission resonance coil 220 is transferred to the wireless power receiving apparatus 300 that makes a resonance circuit with the wireless power transmission apparatus 200 due to resonance.

Power can be transmitted between two LC circuits, which are impedance-matched with each other, due to resonance. The power transmitted due to the resonance can be father transferred with higher efficiency when comparing with the power transmitted by the electromagnetic induction.

The receiving resonance coil 310 receives power from the transmission resonance coil 220 due to the resonance. AC current flows through the receiving resonance coil 310 by the received power. The power received in the receiving resonance coil 310 is transferred to the receiving induction coil 320, which is inductive-coupled with the receiving resonance coil 310 due to the electromagnetic induction. The power received in the receiving induction coil 320 is rectified by the rectification part 330 and transferred to the load 400.

The transmission resonance coil 220 of the wireless power transmission apparatus 200 may transmit power to the receiving resonance coil 310 of the wireless power receiving apparatus 300 through a magnetic field.

In detail, the transmission resonance coil 220 and the receiving resonance coil 310 are resonance-coupled with each other so that the transmission resonance coil 220 and the receiving resonance coil 310 operate at a resonance frequency.

The resonance-coupling between the transmission resonance coil 220 and the receiving resonance coil 310 can significantly improve the power transmission efficiency between the wireless power transmission apparatus 200 and the wireless power receiving apparatus 300.

A quality factor and a coupling coefficient are important in the wireless power transmission.

The quality factor may refer to an index of energy that may be stored in the vicinity of a wireless power transmission apparatus or a wireless power receiving apparatus.

The quality factor may be varied according to the operating frequency w, a coil shape, a dimension, and a material. The quality factor may be expressed in equation, Q=w*L/R. In Equation, L refers to the inductance of a coil, and R refers to resistance corresponding to the quantity of power loss caused in the coil.

The quality factor may have a value of 0 to infinity.

The coupling coefficient represents the degree of inductive coupling between a transmission coil and a receiving coil, and has a value of 0 to 1.

The coupling coefficient may be varied according to the relative position and the distance between the transmission coil and the receiving coil.

FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram showing an equivalent circuit of the transmission induction coil 210 according to the one embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 2, the transmission induction coil 210 may include an inductor L1 and a capacitor C1, and a circuit having desirable inductance and desirable capacitance can be constructed due to the inductor L1 and the capacitor C1.

The transmission induction coil 210 may be constructed as an equivalent circuit in which both terminals of the inductor L1 are connected to both terminals of the capacitor C1. In other words, the transmission induction coil 210 may be constructed as an equivalent circuit in which the inductor L1 is connected to the capacitor C1 in parallel.

The capacitor C1 may include a variable capacitor, and impedance matching may be performed by adjusting the variable capacitor. The equivalent circuit of the transmission resonance coil 220, the receiving resonance coil 310, or the receiving induction coil 320 may be the same as that shown in FIG. 2.

FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing an equivalent circuit of the power supply apparatus 100 and the wireless power transmission apparatus 200 according to one embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 3, the transmission induction coil 210 and the transmission resonance coil 220 may be constructed by using inductors L1 and L2 and capacitors C1 and C2 having predetermined inductances and capacitances, respectively.

FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram showing an equivalent circuit of the wireless power receiving apparatus 300 according to one embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 4, the receiving resonance coil 310 and the receiving induction coil 320 may be constructed by using inductors L3 and L4, and capacitors C3 and C4 having inductances and capacitances, respectively.

The rectification part 330 may be constructed by using a diode D1 and a rectification capacitor C5 to convert AC power into DC power to be output.

The rectification part 330 may include a rectifier and a smoothing circuit. The rectifier may include a silicon rectifier as a rectification element.

The smoothing circuit smoothes the output of the rectifier.

The load 400 may include a predetermined rechargeable battery or a device requiring the DC power. For example, the load 400 may refer to a battery.

The wireless power receiving apparatus 300 may be mounted on an electronic device, such as a cellular phone, a laptop computer, or a mouse, requiring the power.

Meanwhile, the above wireless power transmission technology may have various application ranges. For example, the wireless power transmission apparatus 200 may be provided on the internal wall or the internal ceiling of a building, and the wireless power receiving apparatus 300 may be installed in a terminal such as a cellular phone or a laptop computer. In this case, the user can charge a terminal of the user only if the user has the terminal in an interior equipped with the wireless power transmission apparatus 200.

Recently, many terminals employ touch screens equipped with touch panel as input units of a user. If the above receiving part is installed in the terminal having the touch screen, the frequency of a signal used for wireless power transmission interferes with the frequency of a signal used to touch detection of the touch panel, thereby causing the erroneous operation of the touch panel.

Hereinafter, the details thereof will be described.

FIG. 5 is a view showing the structure of a touch panel 60 according to the related art. As shown in FIG. 5, an electrode array 63 having a transparent electrode including ITO is installed in the touch panel 60.

The electrode array 63 may be constructed through various schemes. FIG. 5 illustrates a dual electrode array including a first electrode array 63-1 and a second electrode array 63-2 arranged in a longitudinal direction and a traverse direction, respectively.

The first electrode array 63-1 includes a plurality of electrode plates connected to each other in a traverse direction, and the second electrode array 63-2 includes a plurality of electrode plates connected to each other in a longitudinal direction.

The first electrode array 63-1 is capacitive-coupled with the second electrode array 63-2.

A signal generator 61 generates a detection signal having a predetermined frequency to supply the detection signal to a first switching unit 62. The first switching unit 62 supplies the detection signal having a pulse waveform to the first electrode array 63-1 at a predetermined interval. If the pulse wave is input to the first electrode array 63-1 through the first switching unit 62, a pulse wave is output to the second electrode array 63-2 at a predetermined interval.

If an object such as a finger of a person approaches a top surface of the electrode array 63, the capacitive-coupling between the first and second electrode arrays 63-1 and 63-2 is enhanced, so that the intensity of the pulse-wave signal is increased. If the controller 65 finds the output time point of the pulse wave and a row number of the second electrode array 63-2 in which the intensity of the pulse wave is increased, the controller 65 may detect the access position of the object on the electrode array 63. Therefore, a command corresponding to the access position of the object can be performed.

However, if the above touch panel 60 is mounted on a terminal equipped with a receiver of a wireless power transmission system, an electric field and a magnetic field may induce a voltage to the electrode array 63 of the touch panel 60, and a signal detector 66 receives an abnormal signal to cause the erroneous operation.

According to the disclosure, all signals having frequency bands corresponding to signals used for wireless power transmission are removed by mounting a filter in a touch panel based on the fact that the frequency of a signal used for wireless power transmission is different from the frequency of signal used for the touch detection of the touch panel, so that the erroneous operation of the touch panel can be prevented.

Hereinafter, the touch panel according to one embodiment of the disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8.

FIG. 6 is a view showing the structure of the touch panel according to one embodiment of the disclosure.

A signal used for wireless power frequency may have a first frequency f1, and a signal used for the touch detection in the touch panel may have a second frequency f2. Preferably, the first frequency is spaced apart from the second frequency by a predetermined distance.

As shown in FIG. 6, the signal generator 61 generates a detection signal having the second frequency, and the generated detection signal is input into the electrode array through the first switching unit 62. Similarly to the related art, if an object approaches, the intensity of a pulse-wave signal output from the second electrode array 63-2 is increased. The signal output from the second electrode array 63-2 is transferred to the signal detector 66. An input terminal of the signal detector 66 has a filter 67 to remove a signal having a frequency f1 corresponding to a signal used for the wireless power transmission.

The filter 67 cuts off the first frequency f1 of a signal used for wireless power transmission and passes the second frequency f2 of the detection signal used for the touch detection. The filter 67 may include a band pass filter, a band reject filter, a high pass filter, or a low pass filter, and may include a desirable filter according to the intensities of the first and second frequencies f1 and f2 and the interval between the first and second frequencies f1 and f2.

According to one embodiment, the filter 67 may have a structure in which at least one inductor is connected to at least one capacitor. Referring to FIG. 8, the filter 67 may have a structure in which one inductor is connected to one capacitor. If the signal having the frequency used for the wireless power transmission and the signal having the frequency used for the touch are input to the input terminal of the filter 67, the signal having the frequency used for the wireless power transmission may be filtered through the inductor and the capacitor. Therefore, only the signal having the frequency used for the touch is output from an output terminal of the filter 67.

Meanwhile, although the above embodiment has been described in that a dual electrode array is used as the electrode array 63, the disclosure is not limited thereto. In other words, a touch panel having an electrode array in a predetermined shape may be applied. In addition, according to the above embodiment, the switching units 62 and 64 may be omitted according to the touch panel, which is within the scope of the disclosure.

The feature of the disclosure may be generalized as a block diagram of FIG. 7.

As shown in FIG. 7, the touch panel 60 of the disclosure includes a signal generator 61 to generate the detection signal, the electrode array 68 to output a signal in response to the approach of the object, the filter 67 to remove the frequency of a signal used for the wireless power transmission, the signal detector 66 to detect a signal output from the electrode array 68, and a controller (not shown) to perform various operations according to the output of the signal detector 66.

The electrode array 68 according to the disclosure may include a resistivity electrode array and an electrostatic electrode array.

FIG. 9 shows a structure of a resistive touch screen panel

As shown in FIG. 9, a resistive touch screen panel has a structure in which an indium tin oxide (ITO) insulating layer is provided on a substrate, a dot spacer is provided on the ITO insulating layer for touch detection, an ITO insulating layer is provided on the dot spacer, and a film is coated on the resultant structure.

FIGS. 10( a) and 10(b) are plan views showing an upper plate and a lower plate constituting the resistive touch screen panel.

As shown in FIG. 10( a), the upper plate includes a resistive film 65, and first and second electrodes 61 and 62 are provided at both terminals of the resistive film 65 to apply voltage. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 10( b), the lower plate includes a resistive film 66, and first and second electrodes 73 and 74 are provided at both terminals of the resistive film 76 to apply voltage. The upper and lower plates are arranged perpendicularly to each other.

The resistive films 65 and 66 may include a transparent electrode, and may include one of ITO, IZO, ZnO, and AZO. The electrodes 61, 62, 63, and 64 may include conductive metal. Preferably, the electrodes 61, 62, 63, and 64 may include silver (Ag).

The resistive films 65 and 66 of FIGS. 10( a) and 10(b) are spaced apart from each other by dot spacers. If the resistive film 65 of FIG. 10( a) is touched, the resistive film 65 electrically makes contact with the resistive film 66 of FIG. 10( b).

The resistive film 75 may be used to measure coordinates in an x-directional, and the resistive film 76 may be used to measure coordinates in a y-direction.

In order to measure the x-direction coordinates, voltage V1 is applied to one electrode 61 of the resistive film 65 of FIG. 10( a), and the other electrode 62 of the resistive film 65 is grounded. If a touch is not made, since the resistive films 65 and 66 represent uniform resistance throughout the whole resistive films, a voltage value according to the distance from the electrode 61 represents a linear function relationship as shown in FIG. 11, and voltage Vx measured at a predetermined point x is calculated in following equation 1.

Vx=x*V1/a  Equation 1

In equation 1, a refers to the width of the resistive film 65.

If the touch is not made, the value is represented. However, if the touch is made, as shown in FIG. 8, in the ITO insulating layer, an upper coating layer for detection of X-axis coordinates is electrically connected to a lower coating layer for the detection of Y-axis coordinates at the moment at which the touch is made. If the upper coating layer for detection of X-axis coordinates is electrically connected to the lower coating layer for the detection of Y-axis coordinates, a resistor R3 is electrically connected between resistors R1 and R2 at a touch point, so that a resistance value is changed. Accordingly, the measured voltage value is changed. Accordingly, touch data generated based on the measured voltage is compared with a threshold value, thereby determining if touch occurs at a corresponding point. In other words, touch sensitivity is determined by the threshold value.

The voltage value used to measure the x-direction coordinates may be measured by measuring the voltage of the electrode of the resistive film 66. If the touch is made, since a touched point 67 of the resistive layer 65 makes contact with the point 68 of the resistive layer 66, the voltage of the point 67 is the same as the voltage of the point 68. Since current does not flow through the resistive film 66 without voltage applied thereto, the voltage of the point 68 is the same as the voltage of the electrodes 63 and 64. Accordingly, the voltage at the touch point may be measured at the electrodes 63 and 64 of the resistive film 66 instead of the resistive film 65. If the voltage of the point 68 is found, the x-coordinate value of the point 68 can be found.

The y-direction coordinates of the touch point may be measured by changing the resistive film 65 in the measurement of the x-directional coordinates to the resistive film 66.

In order to measure the y-direction coordinates, the voltage V1 is applied to one electrode 63 of the resistive film 64, and the other electrode 64 of the resistive film 64 is grounded. If a touch is not made, since the resistive films 65 and 66 represent uniform resistance throughout the whole resistive films, a voltage value according to the distance from the electrode 63 represents a linear function relationship as shown in FIG. 11, and voltage Vy measured at a predetermined point y is calculated in following equation 2.

Vy=y*V1/b  Equation 2

In equation 2, b refers to the width of the resistive film 66. If the touch is not made, the above value is represented. However, if the touch is made, the measured voltage value is changed, and the touch point can be detected based on the measured voltage value. In this case, similarly, the voltage value may be measured at the electrodes 63 and 64 of the resistive film 66 instead of the resistive film 66.

If an electronic device having the above resistive touch screen panel mounted thereon is charged through the wireless power transmission, error is caused in the voltage value detected by inducing voltage into the resistive films 65 and 66, so that the touch panel may be erroneously operated.

According to one embodiment of the disclosure, the voltage induced into the resistive film due to wireless power transmission can be removed by connecting an LC circuit, which is shorted, that is, represents a zero impedance value at a frequency of a signal used for the wireless power transmission, to the electrodes 71, 72, 73, and 74 of the resistive films 75 and 76.

In more detail, a wireless power transmission system employing magnetic resonance transmits power having a predetermined frequency f1. In this case, the voltage having the frequency f1 is induced into the resistive film of the touch panel.

In this case, as shown in FIGS. 13( a) and 13(b), the voltage induced in to the resistive film can be removed by connecting LC resonance circuits 71, 72, 73, and 74 representing the zero impedance value at the frequency f1 to the related resistive films 65 and 66.

On the assumption that the signal used for the wireless power transmission has the frequency f1, the LC value of an LC circuit having a series-structure can be found through following equations.

Z=jωL+1/jωC=0  Equation 3

The LC circuit must satisfy a following condition derived from equation 3.

LC=1/4πf12  Equation 4

The wireless power receiving apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure may be mounted on various electronic devices, which wirelessly perform power transmission, for the utilization thereof as well as a touch panel or a touch screen.

For example, in the case of an electronic device employing both of wireless power transmission and short range communication modules, when a signal having a frequency used for the wireless power transmission is removed from signals having frequencies used for the short range communication module, the short range communication can be prevented from being interrupted by using the wireless power receiving apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure.

The short range communication module may include a near field communication (NFC), or a Blue tooth, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

For example, the wireless power receiving apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure may be applied to a camera having an image sensor based on wireless power transmission.

In other words, in the case of the image sensor to detect the information of an object to be converted into an electrical image signal, when a signal having a frequency used for wireless power transmission is removed from image signals having the information of the object, the image sensor can be prevented from being erroneously operated by using the wireless power transmission apparatus.

The disclosure can be utilized even in an electric vehicle system.

In other words, an electronic control unit (ECU) serving as a controller to control the driving of the engine, the automatic transmission, or a brake of an electric vehicle may employ the wireless power receiving apparatus according to the embodiment of the disclosure in order to prevent the erroneous operation of each device.
